** - Not shown to avoid disclosure of information about specific taxpayers.
However, the data are combined with data in an adjacent size class, as
appropriate, and included in the appropriate totals.

[1] Includes returns with adjusted gross deficit.
[2] Less deficit.

[3] "Number," here, and elsewhere in Table 2, represents number of returns,
unless otherwise specified.

[4] Includes the Alaskan permanent fund, reported by residents of Alaska on
Forms 1040A and 1040EZ's. This fund only applies to statistics in the U.S. totals,
and the state of Alaska.
[5] "Itemized deductions" include any amounts reported by the taxpayer, even if
they could not be used in computing "taxable income," the base on which the
regular income tax was computed. Thus, total itemized deductions include
amounts that did not have to be reported by taxpayers with no "adjusted gross
income." (Adjusted gross income is the total from which these deductions would
normally be subtracted.) In addition, if standard and itemized deductions were
both reported on a tax return, the form of deduction actually used in computing
income tax was the one used for the statistics. Therefore, if the standard
deduction was the form of deduction used, the total reported for itemized
deductions was excluded from the statistics. However, the component
deductions were not similarly excluded. As a result, the number of returns and
related amounts for the component deductions are slightly overstated in relation
to the grand total shown for itemized deductions. These components are also
overstated in relation to the total because there was a statutory limitation on the
total of itemized deductions that could be claimed by certain high-income
taxpayers. This limitation did not affect the component deductions, the sum
of which therefore exceeded the total used in computing income tax.

[6] Unlike Table 1, Table 2's "Total tax credits" excludes the "earned income
credit" which is shown separately below in the table.
[7] "Earned income credit" includes both the refundable and non-refundable
portions. The non-refundable portion could reduce income tax and certain
related taxes to zero. The earned income credit amounts in excess of total tax
liability, or amounts when there was no tax liability at all, were refundable. See
footnote 8 below for explanation of the refundable portion of the earned income
credit.

[8] The refundable portion of the "earned income credit" equals "total income tax"
minus the "earned income credit". If the result is negative, this amount is considered
the refundable portion.
[9] "Income tax" is in general, the same as "income tax after credits" which was
redefined in Tax Year 2000 to include the "alternative minimum tax (AMT)". Table
2 "Income tax" differs from "total income tax" (in Tables 1 and 3) in that Table 2
"Income tax" is after the subtraction of all tax credits except the earned income
credit. See footnotes 7 and 8 above, for an explanation of the treatment of the
earned income credit. "Income tax" reflects the amount reported on the tax return
and is, therefore, before any examination or enforcement activities by the Internal
Revenue Service. It represents the tax filer reported income tax liability that was
payable to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

[10] For Table 2, "Total tax liability" differs from "Income tax," in that "Total tax
liability" includes the taxes from recapture of certain prior-year credits, tax
applicable to individual retirement arrangements (IRA's), Social Security taxes on
self-employment income and on certain tip income, advanced earned income
payments, household employment taxes, and certain "other taxes" listed in the
Form 1040 instructions.

[11] Reflects payments to or withholdings made to "Total tax liability" (footnote
10). The amount the tax filer owes when the income tax return is filed.

[12] The amount of overpayments the tax filer requested to have refunded.

[13] Includes, for example, returns filed from Army Post
Office and Fleet Post Office addresses by members of the armed forces
stationed overseas; returns filed by other U.S. citizens abroad; and returns filed by
residents of Puerto Rico with income from sources outside Puerto Rico or with
income earned as U.S. government employees.

NOTE: This table presents aggregates of all returns filed and processed through
the Individual Master File (IMF) system during Calendar Year 2009, including any
returns filed for tax years preceding 2008.

In general, during administrative or Master File processing, taxpayer reporting
discrepancies are corrected only to the extent necessary to verify the total tax
liability reported. Most of the other corrections to the taxpayer records used for
these statistics could not be made because of time and resource constraints.
The statistics in Table 2 should, therefore, be used with the knowledge that some
of the data have not been perfected or edited for statistical purposes and that
U.S. totals in this table may not be altogether comparable to U.S. totals in Tables
1 and 3, as a result. Also, see footnote 13, above for differences in tax return
coverage, which affects U.S. totals in this table.
Classification by State was usually based on the taxpayer's home address.
However, some taxpayers may have used the address of a tax lawyer, or
accountant, or the address of a place of business; moreover, such addresses
could each have been located in a State other than the State in which the
taxpayer resided.

For explanation of the tax law changes which could affect the year-to-year
analysis of data, refer to the respective years' "Individual Income Tax Returns,
Preliminary Data" article published in the SOI Spring Bulletin. For further
explanation of the tax terms, refer to the respective years' "Individual Income Tax
Returns," Publication 1304.

Note: Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.
